Amazon has just put all of their various Echo smart speakers on sale. Starting at the bottom, the 2nd Gen Echo Dot is on sale for $24.99, which is $15 off of the regular price of $49.99. That might seem tempting, but it’s well worth spending just $5 more to get the all-new 3rd Gen Echo Dot for $29.99 because its speaker sounds considerably better than the previous model. An even better deal is a 2-Pack of 3rd Gen Echo Dots for only $50. Just add any two to your cart and the extra savings will automatically appear during checkout. For those wanting even better sound, the full sized Amazon Echo is on sale for $69.99, which is just $1 more than Amazon’s Black Friday price for the smart speaker. You can also get a pair of Echos for $119.98. The Amazon Echo Plus is on sale for $119.99. That price includes a fee Philips Hue smart bulb and it’s just $10 more than it was on Black Friday. Also just $10 more than it was during Black Friday is the Echo Spot for $99. For just $5 more, you can add a Wyze camera to an order of the Echo Spot. Lastly is the flagship Echo Show on sale for $179.99. That price matches Amazon’s Black Friday price and includes a free Philips Hue smart bulb.

QVC is once again offering an Amazon Echo 2-Pack for $99.98 with free shipping. This is the lowest price that a pair of Amazon Echos have ever been and the deal gets even better if you’ve never ordered anything through QVC before, because using promo code TEN4U at checkout will get new customers an extra $10 off. A pair of Echos can be linked together through the Alexa app to form a stereo pair, where one acts as the left channel speaker and the other acts as the right channel speaker. Of course, you can just use them independently in separate areas of your home and use Alexa’s whole-home audio feature to play music in sync across all of your Echo devices. QVC is offering this deal in Charcoal (black), Heather (grey), and Sandstone (white), but you can’t mix two different colors for a single order. If you want two different colors, your best option is to get any 2 Echos from Amazon for $119.98.

Target just kicked off their Cyber Monday sale and are taking 15% off of everything on their site. This includes all of Amazon’s hardware which is mostly still matching Amazon’s own Black Friday prices. This means items like the Fire TV Stick 4K are only $29.74. If you have a Target REDcard, that takes an additional 5% off, making the Fire TV Stick 4K just $28.25. Better yet, Target is matching many of Amazon’s multi-pack deals, so the Fire TV Stick 4K 2-Pack is just $50.98 or $48.43 with a REDcard.

The full-sized Amazon Echo is on sale for $69.00. This is the new lowest price that the Amazon Echo has ever been, as it’s just slightly less during this year’s Black Friday Sale than it was during Prime Day earlier in the year. While the all-new Echo Dot, which is on sale for a staggeringly low $24, has significantly better sound quality than the old Echo Dot, it still doesn’t compare to the sound of the full-sized Amazon Echo. If you’re going to be using your smart speaker to listen to music, you really should get the Amazon Echo, instead of the Echo Dot. The Amazon Echo is available in Charcoal (black), Heather (gray), Sandstone (white), and a new limited edition Red fabric. For $20 more, you can also get the Echo in an Oak or Walnut finish. You can also save an extra $18 when you buy 2 Echos for $119.98 and you can get the Echo + Smart Plug bundle for $74.00.

A 2-pack of Amazon Echos is currently on sale for $99.98 as today’s special value at QVC. At half the regular price, this is the new lowest price that a pair of Echos has ever been. The lowest price that two Echos have ever been in the past is $119.99 during Prime Day. The Echo will be $69.99 during Black Friday later this month, which is the same price it was during Prime Day, so it’s likely that the 2-pack will also be $119.99 during Black Friday. That makes this deal much better than waiting for Black Friday. Two Amazon Echos can be used individually or as a stereo pair, where one acts as the right channel and the other acts as the left. Adding an optional Amazon Echo Sub turns the setup into a pretty great sound system for any room. If you’ve never ordered anything from QVC, you can use promo code FIVE4U to get an extra $5 off.

Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant turns 4 years old this week. To celebrate, Amazon has put several Alexa devices on sale. Most of Amazon’s devices are around $10 more expensive during this sale than they will be later this month during Amazon’s Black Friday sale, so be sure to compare prices with my Black Friday Preview post to determine whether it’s worth waiting. Here are all the items that currently on sale. Read more ›

Amazon’s Alexa has come a long way since the 1st-gen Amazon Echo was announced, but the original smart speaker is still a great device to this day. If you prefer the aesthetics of the original Echo, can’t live without a volume wheel, or just don’t want to pay twice as much for the Echo 2, the refurbished Amazon Echo just went on sale for $49.99. This is the first time the Echo 1 has ever been available at such a low price. The refurbished version has been listed at a regular price of $79.99 on Amazon since the start of the year. The only thing the Echo 1 doesn’t have that the Echo 2 has is an audio-out 3.5mm jack on the back. Otherwise, the two devices are identical in features. The newer Echo sounds a tiny bit richer with music, but the older Echo sounds better with spoken word content, like audiobooks and podcasts, thanks to its larger tweeter. Both the black and white Amazon Echo are available at this sale price.

Nearly all of Amazon’s Echo lineup have gone on sale today. The best deal of the bunch is easily the Echo Show for $129.99. This matches the lowest price that the Echo Show has ever been and is the same price that it was during Prime Day, but this sale is open to non-Prime members. The regular Amazon Echo is on sale for $84.99, which is a mediocre sale price since it has been as low as $69.99 in the past. If you buy two Echos the savings get much more impressive because Amazon will take another $30 off the already reduced priced. At $139.98 for a pair of Echos, that brings the price for each down the lowest the Echo has ever been individual. The Echo Dot is on sale for $39.99, which is also a mediocre sale price. If you buy 3 Echo Dots and use the promo code DOT3PACK, you’ll get an extra $45 off, which brings the individual price of each to $24.99. That’s a fantastic deal since the lowest price the Echo Dot has ever been on its own is $29.99. Lastly, the Echo Plus is on sale for $99.99 with a free Philips Hue smart light bulb included. That price matches the lowest price the Echo plus has ever been.

As I predicted, 3rd-party retailers are currently having a sale on all of Amazon’s devices. Best Buy, Target, Staples, B&H, Office Depot, Bed Bath & Beyond, and others are currently matching the prices that Amazon had during Prime Day. The Fire TV Stick is $19.99, the Fire TV is $34.99, and the Fire TV Cube is $89.99. The entire lineup of Amazon Echo models, Fire Tablet models, and Kindle models are also on sale, including the kindle Oasis for $199.99. Even Amazon’s Cloud Cam and Blink XT cameras can be had for the same prices as Prime Day. If you missed out on Prime Day or couldn’t buy anything because you’re not a Prime member, here’s your last chance to get in on what are likely the best prices we’ll see until Black Friday for Amazon devices. Here is the complete list of sales for each retailer, with direct links to each device. Read more ›

The Certified Refurbished 1st-gen Amazon Echo has just gone on sale for $69.99. While it has a laughable list price of $164.99, it normally sells for either $89.99 or $79.99. This newly discounted price is $5 more than the lowest it has ever been, which occurred during a Prime-only lightning deal back in May. Apart from not having an auxiliary audio out jack, the 1st-gen Echo has all the same functionality as the newer 2nd-gen Echo. The two perform and sound very similar. I personally find the 1st-gen Echo to have a slightly crisper sound, probably due to its larger tweeter, which makes it my preferred device for podcasts and news briefs, while the 2nd-gen has a slightly richer sound, which makes it a bit better for music. Overall, you really wouldn’t notice a difference between the two unless you heard them side-by-side. If you missed out on the Prime Day sales or just prefer the aesthetics and volume wheel of the original Echo, here’s your chance to get one at a great price.
